About the Exhibition
On View
AVAM's upcoming MEGA-Exhibition will invite visitors into the handcrafted environments of such visionaries as Zebedee Armstrong, Gayleen Aiken, Ruby C. Williams, Leslie Payne, DeVon Smith, and Baltimore's own Loring Cornish.
The exhibition will feature an engaging new way for you to connect with the gallery's main theme by using interactive touch-screen maps to explore visionary environments across the country.
